Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurobehavioral disorder with an onset of symptoms before 7 years of age, often starting as early as the preschool years. The off-label use of methylphenidate (MPH) for 3- to 6-year-old preschool children with ADHD is being more common, although MPH is not licensed for use in children younger than age 6 years, in most countries. Despite the limited data, the review of the literature suggests that MPH meets evidence based criteria as beneficial and safe for carefully diagnosed ADHD preschool children. Carefully monitored administration of evidence-based psychotropic medication in preschool children with ADHD may be indicated if psychosocial treatments are ineffective.

Chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL) is a myeloproliferative disease with an increased number of mature eosinophils and their precursors, which results in infiltration into organs and organ enlargement. The main cause of this disease is the overexpression of tyrosine kinase. However, there is a need for alternative medication, because some patients are resistant to imatinib, which is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor for leukemia. Many studies have indicated that S100A8 and splicing factor proline and glutamine-rich (SFPQ) function as initiation signals of apoptosis in CEL cells. We reviewed structural studies on CEL cells related to S100A8 and SFPQ. Particularly, this review highlighted microscopic results for the study of S100A8 and SFPQ in CEL cells.

Eye movement dysfunction has been found in large numbers of schizophrenia patients and their first-degree relatives and can be studied without the interference of deficits in attention, motivation, clinical status and medication effects with relatively easy method. Eye movement dysfunction has been proposed as a useful way of expanding the schizophrenia phenotype in genetic studies. I review the literature on eye movement dysfunction with respect to syndrome and familial specificity and the quantitative assessment of eye tracking. I hope that the etiology and the pathophysiology of schizophrenia can be clarified through this eye movement study.

스트레스에 놓여 있는 닭에서는 생산성의 감소뿐만 아니라 면역 기능의 감소가 관찰된다. 이들은 보다 좋은 환경하에서 사육된 닭에 비해 질병에 걸리기 쉽고, 따라서 치료 혹은 예방을 위해 더 빈번히 약제에 의존해야 할지도 모른다. 본고에서는 먼저 닭에서 흔히 이용되는 스트레스 표식을 알아보고, 스트레스와 면역 기능과의 관계, 마지막으로 생산성과 면역 기능에 대한 스트레스의 영향에 관한 최근의 문헌을 조사했다.

The drug allergy "label" may have a lifetime of consequences for a child. Many children with alleged drug allergies are proven to be tolerant to the culprit medication when challenged. The field of drug hypersensitivity is a recently evolving field of research, but studies on its epidemiology and diagnostic tools are lacking in children. Clinical history is significant in the diagnosis and classification of drug hypersensitivity in children. Diagnostic tools have been evaluated in a limited number of children; therefore, the guidelines are mainly in line with those for adults. Here, we review the clinical characteristics, main drugs, risk factors, and diagnosis of drug hypersensitivity to aid in its accurate diagnosis in children.

A 21-year-old woman ingested 1,250 mg of diphenhydramine in a single overdose. Diphenhydramine, a rare ingredient in over-the-counter medication, is used to treat insomnia in Korea. Toxicity is usually limited to anticholinergic symptoms. The standard approach to therapy for the treatment of diphenhydramine overdose is supportive care, including physostigmines and sodium bicarbonates. Here, we review the literature and for the first time report a case of acute diphenhydramine overdosage in Korea, complicated with seizures.

Asthma is one of the most common chronic disease of childhood. Although an improved understanding of the pathophysiology of asthma has had a positive impact on the treatment and management of the disease, there has been a gradual but significant increase in asthma mortality. Also, mother's caring type is the essential factor in management of the child with asthma. The purpose of this study is to identify and understand the caring patterns of mathers of children with Athma by Q methodology. As a research method, 35 Q-statements were collected through individual interviews and review of related literatures. 37 subjects were interviewed and the data were analyzed by the PC QUANL program with principal component analysis. The were 3 different caring types classified as follows : Type I was the therapeutic compliance obeying type, compliancing medication and preventing cold etc. Type II was the physical strengthening type, taking Chinese medicine and folk remedy etc. Type III was the environment control type, managing house and environment clearly and ventilating room air etc. Therefore, it needs considering above each type in nursing care of the family and children with asthma.

Spinal pain is a common patient complaint in clinical practice. Conservative treatment methods include oral medication, physical therapy, injections, and spinal orthoses. The clinical application of orthoses is debated because of potential complications associated with long-term use, such as muscle weakness and joint contracture. We reviewed the orthoses most frequently used to manage spinal pain. We review the use of soft cervical and Philadelphia collars, lumbosacral corsets, and thoracolumbosacral orthosis to manage spinal pain. Spinal orthoses can help reduce pain by protecting the muscles and joints of the injured spinal region, preventing or correcting malformations, and limiting trunk flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation. The short-term use of spinal orthoses is known to improve pain and disability during the treatment period without significant adverse effects. Spinal orthoses are expected to alleviate pain and improve patients' lifestyle.
